Lesson 133 – Parts of the Sentence – Nouns of Address

Nouns or nominatives of address are the persons or things to which you are speaking. They are set off from the rest of the sentence by a comma or commas, may have modifiers, and are not related to the rest of the sentence grammatically. You can remove them and a complete sentence remains. They may be first, last or in the middle of the sentence. Examples: John, where are you going? Where are you going, John? Where, John, are you going?

Because I use diagramming to teach in the classroom and can’t on the internet, I will be asking you to find various parts of the sentence for the repetition. The repetition should help you remember the parts of the sentence.

I love parties but also life and teaching. I'm entrepreneurial and won the Laurette businessman of the year award in 2012 with my business which I sold to a VC. I'm working on my next education business now.
